Forum: Air Operated Systems and Leaks
- Replies (6)

Previous owner had capped a larger red air line that I could hear leaking at bottom front driver side right next to the 6-pack. I could see that it apparently had been hooked up to what appeared to be an air horn. When I hooked it back on the horn and tried to air up Coach, it started sounding like a freight train’s horn coming down the tracks. I couldn’t turn it off and the supply air is now staying at 0 psi. ? has anyone found to be in the same predicament? Should I just cap it and be done with it? Appreciate any feedback. Thanks

I put a brand new Delco Remy alternator in with new belts.   It only shows 12.3v on the Blue Fire.  Any ideas why this would be? Belts seem to be tight I torqued the pulley but to 80ftlbs that it stars on the alternator

My propane tank is a 67 gallon big boy. It is 31 years old with surface rust and my concern is safety. I can't find a replacement online that size or even a smaller one that has the fill ports on the end cap. I'd hate to lose the propane since my coach has two propane furnaces which work great and do not depend on much power to run. Not sure what to do. Last year I turned the gas valve on and it hissed a leak past the stem seal and "popped" itself sealed again.

On the diagram that Richard and Steve Bare put together:

https://newellgurus.com/showthread.php?tid=3731

There’s 2 blocks marked SV on each tag airbag circuit.

I am assuming that those are solenoid valves that arr used for the “Raise tag axle” function. Is that right?

I have a solenoid valve leaking lots of air in any mode - raise, travel or ign off. It is mounted to the frame rail on the curb side approx between the rear tires.

It leaks enough to drop the driver’s side of the coach all the way down in travel mode.

I’m assuming at this point that it is the SV on thr diagram with the exhaust port. Can anyone verify that?

Wondering if anyone has a part number. Alternately, I am assuming that if it is the exhaust valve for raising the tag that I can simply bypass it for now.

Hello,
I am new to the forum and am looking at 2008 Newell Coach 1223 located in Charlotte, NC. Is there someone in the Charlotte, NC area that could help me inspect the coach? Are there any major gotcha's for that year coach with a C15 engine and a 12-speed ZF transmission? (https://www.rvtrader.com/listing/2008-Ne...5027889335)

Can anyone tell me if the Tail Light layout on different coaches is any indication of the vintage of the coach ?

I thought I had figured out that in 2008 they switched from plain round lights in the rear cap to round lights in a big giant bezel like thing that stretched from one side of the coach to the other.  But then I just saw a 2013 advertised with no bezel, just the round lights in the cap.

I think that in 14 they went to the tall (non-round) lights that they are using currently.

Makes me wonder if this big bezel thing was maybe an option ?  I have seen several Newel option ordering sheets and have never noticed this on there.

Can anyone shed any light on this ?

Thanks,  Jeff

The right side compartment behind the front steer was a catchall mess. I never did anything with it until now as it was basically a place to toss loose tools and parts. Since I had to remove two bolts holding the cross braces of the condenser for the now defunct and removed dash air, the exposure of the space made me realize it was time to clean it up. I have since welded the bolt heads to the back floor of the compartment so I would not need to get an assistant to hold the bolt when something underneath exterior needs to be tightened down. I have sanded the surface rust, Por-15 the space and installed new carpet tiles. Carpet has self adhesive strips on the backside but I also brushed on contact cement for a more secure and permanent hold. I do use deep plastic trays to keep stuff in so the carpets should stay clean.

During our very frigid cold snap, our water filter housing in the wet bay cracked. After much consternation,
I've found that a Pentair Pentek 150072 is a perfect replacement. This unit has the square type threads and mounts from the top.

No idea of this is the original or not. Just what is installed in our #277, 1991 model that we have had since 2015.

I found this one on Amazon.

Happy miles!

While cleaning the AH bay I snapped off the plastic latch finger "D" ring.  It is a Southco Latch (Southco M1-61 Series Natural Plastic Flush Pull Push-to-Close Latch, Non-Locking, 0.08"-0.28" Panel Thickness, 0.98"-1.02" Grip Range, Black).  Amazon has them https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076G2LHCQ?ref...tails&th=1

Hey Gurus,
Here is a fun one.

Have any of you had to fix or replace the DPF aftertreatment harness or sensors on a CAT C15??

My C15 has two codes for bank 1 DPF gas temperature. One each for input and output. Sometimes its "Voltage above normal" and sometimes its " Voltage below normal". I have it at a repair shop that has the CAT diagnostic software. That shop said the coach needs an aftertreatment jumper harness from the engine harness to temperature sensors, as well as a doc inlet clamp and gasket. Of course this info was obtained via CAN bus debugging, not taking anything apart (Shop is disassembling tomorrow). The shop called CAT to get parts, after which CAT said they don't make such a harness and we should call the coach maker. The shop emailed Newell who said they don't touch emission parts. I guess we'll see what we have when they disassemble tomorrow and look for part numbers, if any. I certainly hope the part numbers are on the bad parts, or the parts are obviously failed (such as a broken wire or connector, or sensor that measures out of range, when isolated.

In any event, has anyone had to repair this area or have a wiring diagram? Photos would be great but Santa didn't bring 'em and I can't wait for the Easter Bunny.
